Unchecked Oxyfern Production Over Pressurization
Perhaps something here on this claim should also reflect that dupes themselves reduce pressure when they breath Oxygen by the same margin. I.e 50 kg O2 <--> 1 kg CO2 is the natural ratio of respiration. If you can guarantee that Oxyferns get all of the CO2 and your dupes are the only CO2 producers, your base should maintain it's pressure of O2 just fine. If you have other sources of CO2, the unchecked pressurization from Oxyferns though will indeed lead to an overpressure situation, which should warrant the player storing excess Oxygen until it is needed. Here's the numbers on dupe respiration and Oxyferns together:

Dupe respiration 100 kg/s O2 -> 2 kg/s CO2 (100 kg / 2 kg = 50x reduction in pressure) Oxyfern respiration 625 g/s CO -> 31.25 kg/s O2 (31.25 kg / 0.625 kg = 50x increase in pressure)

If this information doesn't belong here, perhaps it should reference another page that has this information. Which would it be though? Oxygen? Carbon Dioxide? Dupes? A new page just for this referenced by all of them? I've been collecting information for the wiki but I'm not entirely sure of how to build pages the way current editors want them, so unless I don't hear from someone for a few days, I'll just comment here and see if someone responds. --ChthonicOne (talk) 19:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * CO2 is measured in milligrams there, so it's 100/1 and 0.625/31.3=0.01 100x difference. That was a bad idea to mix measurements in a table, I'll correct it in a second.

 * Data is data. If you have enough to write overview page do it, there is always enough people to prettify and sort out stuff. 46.0.166.205 01:48, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
